I don't know the exact price for just the alignment, since mine was done as part of the overall suspension install and included in the price (which was quite low, btw).
Call Fab and talk to him- Really nice guy. He also knows how to align to GT3 street specs which works great.

I just got my car back from my local Porsche dealer who installed the PSS10s and a set of Sumitomo HRTZIIIs I purchased from Damon at Tirerack. After spending the day cruising the back roads of DE and PA, I can't get over the difference in the ride. Gone is the floaty feeling in the front end and the overall ride is greatly improved. Although stiffer, the car seems to soak up road irregularities and bumps much better than the stock setup. My only regret is that I didn't make this upgrade sooner. This is the best bang for the buck upgrade I have done you get great performance with the agressive look of a lowered car,

I have not added sway bars yet. I wanted to feel the difference that just the suspension upgrade made. Swats are going to be my next upgrade. I am trying to decide on the H&Rs or GT3s.

Cut the springs.

There are people out there a lot faster than you are racing on cut springs.

In others makes (muscle cars) but not in Porsches. Porsche suspensions are much more complicated and all the parts need to work together in order to function correctly.
